The Choice Between Love And Fear

As Bill Hicks says, "Life is just a ride" which means that we can change it anytime we want. It is only a choice.

The world is like a ride at an amusement park and when you choose to go on it, you think it’s real because that’s how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it’s very brightly colored and it’s very loud and it’s fun for a while.

Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question, “Is this real?” “Or is this just a ride?” Other people have remembered and they come back to us and they say, “Don’t worry! Don’t be afraid ever! Because this is just a ride!”

But we always kill those good guys who try to tell us that. And we let the demons run amok?

But it doesn’t matter because it’s just a ride and we can change it anytime we want.

It’s only a choice – no effort, no work, no job, no savings or money – a choice, right now, between fear and love.

The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one.

Here’s what we can do to change the world right now to a better ride – take all the money we spend on weapons and defense every year and instead spend it feeding, clothing, and educating the poor of the world which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we can explore space, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.
